Once a strange gecko entered our house. It was crawling around the cassette player when we first found it. Whenever Master's Buddha's chanting tape was played, it stopped by the machine. Head up, eyes half closed, ignoring the people walking about, the lizard looked as though it were in samadhi and full of blessing.

Gradually, we became accustomed to the behavior of our lizard "friend" who loved to listen to Buddha's chanting. We were very careful while walking in the house for fear of stepping on it.

One day, when the Buddha's chanting tape was played, the little lizard rested at the same place and position as usual. Out of curiosity, I wanted to play with it for fun. I lightly scratched its tummy with something. Strangely, it didn't move at all. Gently I turned it upside down, and to my surprise, it had passed away. Our lizard friend died in samadhi. God bless! God bless!
